On March 24, Vanguard Records will release Keep Your Soul: A Tribute To Doug Sahm, which features Greg Dulli, Levon Helm, Los Lobos, Alejandro Escovedo, the Gourds and others paying tribute to the late musician. Over his 50-year career, Sahm (a child prodigy who made his radio debut at age five) moved effortlessly from genre to genre, playing what might be best termed as “American music.” In 2002, MAGNET contributor Mitch Myers wrote an in-depth profile on the late Sir Douglas Quintet leader that can be found here. Confirmed tracks after the jump.
